I'm used to foreshad...Much the same as yours. <br /><br />I'm used to foreshadowing giving you a slightly longer lead time before it pays off instead of killing off the protagonist in the very next scene.<br /><br />They warned us, I get it. And evil lives to walk among us, and people are more concerned with who's getting paid rather than who's doing right and wrong. Yes yes yes.<br /><br />The very end though where Tommy Lee Jones is describing his dream completely threw me. The thought that came to mind was that in order to understand it, it would require another viewing to decipher the dream. And I couldn't rationalize that to myself or my girlfriend. I think I'll just let it be one of those little cinematic mysteries.Joelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6324421950127648944.post-23996632660103436652009-06-27T16:30:19.883+02:002009-06-27T16:30:19.883+02:00Yeah, I saw it.

Then it all goes sideways for me, and the ending was one big, awful disappointment. I haven't been that upset coming out of a movie theater ever. I don't know if the book goes that way, and I probably won't find out, which is a shame since I love "The Road" and I'm reading "Blood Meridian" now.<br /><br />Your thoughts?beardonauthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05498393614282920563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6324421950127648944.post-81909762393416835122009-06-25T09:50:40.113+02:002009-06-25T09:50:40.113+02:00I love Stranger than Fiction.
